LFCMike 3,012 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I am absolutely bricking it for this game. Pretty much as soon as the final whistle went on Tuesday night and I thought about this one I've had that horrible feeling. Winning would be huge but it's obviously a must not lose for us.

Happy Blue 1,901 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I say its a must not lose for us too, id be happy with a draw. a win probably wins the title for us, a draw makes it more nervous but we have very winnable games but defeat puts us 2pts behind and needing you to slip up somewhere ..at least its going to be an exciting title race this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool have a game in hand though, so even a draw isn't best for you but does favour LIverpool. And the game in hand is against Utd so that might as well be 3 points anyway...

Phwwwwwaaaaar do they? Fuck it's close. Neither has a game you'd expect them to lose. City play West ham who are organized and motivated, probably the hardest remaining fixture for either team. Brighton would have been tricky 6 months ago but are dire now, and by this point we know Stevie G took Villa nowhere but sideways. Liverpool have United, who are the best on paper team, but suck outrageous smelly balls. I'd rather play them than West ham, because the Hammers have less talent, but will utilize it better. United are just as likely to roll over and die as play a competent game, especially against Liverpool. Wolves also can play ball. Southampton are good enough to nick a random draw, but unlikely. The rest, dire. Yeah, I'll give the easier run in to City, but fuck me it's fine margins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham's form hasn't been the best recently, however Bowen is back so would also play Man Utd rather than West Ham. City & Liverpool will probably win them all. So it puts even more emphasis on Sunday's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on paper but if there's a winner on Sunday I think psychology it's a big swing and could see the loser on Sunday dropping more. Bit different to 18/19 when the second game between the two teams was in January and after that both teams were almost perfect. I've no idea how the fixtures fall in terms of who plays first but I think scoreboard pressure is a thing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a surprise result to come still, I really do. I don't see both winning all remaining games, I just feel one team always gets inspired and takes advantage whilst the other has such a franctic schedule and an off day. Not for one minute suggesting it is us by the way but, if City are in the Champions League semi's, our league game with them is sandwiched between the two semi finals. Given the effort and running we put in, I bet Pep comments on how much of a physically demanding game that will be for his team, I don't know if he will be able to rotate loads for it, and if we are desperate, full Elland Road, might be potential for a surprise.

Dr. Gonzo 8,197 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 City will win, I think. But I hope not. I hope have the best game we’ve had all season, and score so many goals that the City players feel like they’ve been skinned alive, wrecking their confidence for the rest of the season… … and if we’re lucky their careers. Also if Tierney could slip and fall and not be available to be on VAR that’d be great. Fuck Mike Riley putting a city fan on VAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firmino’s been great this season, and with Salah and Sterling in that XI he might be just thinking about how to be feeding the 2 wide forwards.
